Better than anyone I know! Ba-dum-bum.
OK, I’ll put on my serious face now because I do have a serious (if slightly odd) request: Readers, can you suggest some films that start with the … less utilized letters of the alphabet? You know, the ones that consistently get picked last for kickball? The letters Q, V, Y and Z are looking a little lonesome in my A-Z reviews collection, while X got so bored and hungry he wandered away one day when I was busy overfeeding “S” and “B.”
So let’s hear your suggestions — any movies (good, bad, terrifically terrible) that start with those letters.
Filed under: Random Thoughts |
M. Carter @ the Movies 
Xanadu
Zorro
Vision Quest (that could be a twofer)
(the) Year of living dangerously

These are just a few suggestions that I could think of at the moment.
oh, and Zulu.
Q the Winged Serpent

One answer:
XANADU!!!!!!!!!!!!
Here are some others:
Zack and Miri Make A Porno
Queen Of The Damned
The Quest
XXX

You Can’t Take it With You is pretty great.

Otherwise:
Quantum of Solace
Valkyrie
Vals Im Bashir (Waltz with Bashir)
X2: X-Men United
Zebraman
And others that have already been mentioned…
Zombieland
Zombie Strippers
Here’s a twofer: Visitor Q. I win!
“Z Channel: A Magnificent Obsession”
It’s a doc. Some movies featured might interest you. 🙂
“Valentino: The Last Emperor”
If you like fashion.
“Vitus”
Just ’cause it’s really good. Hahah.
Reaching into the past for this list. Do you have them already?
Quigley down under
Quest for fire
Victory
The Yards
Zodiac
Wow — thanks, everyone, for loads of great suggestions! Those lonely categories won’t be feeling so lonely soon.
@ Kai — Somehow I knew “Road House” would show up in your suggestions! 🙂 And WOW aren’t you quite the overachiever?
@ Alex — “Zombie Strippers” is one I’ve always been curious about .. you’re talking about the Pam Anderson one, right? Last Halloween I saw one on the Sci-Fi Channel that had the same title but a bunch of no-name actors.
@ Stu — I’ve seen “Zodiac” and loved it, but this reminds me to review it!
@ Film Reel — I didn’t even think of movies that started with the word “zombie,” but it sounds promising.
@ Unruly + Heather — Both of you suggested “Xanadu,” so I think we have a winner!
Zombie Strippers is with Jenna Jameson actually but yeah I think we’re thinking of the same one! It’s weird and funny and I found it pretty entertaining. I think I’m one of the few though, so tread carefully.
Quadrophenia is definitely worth watching Alex…and M. Carter! Would recommend Zulu for the ‘Z’s.
Okay, I was going to suggest a couple, but would be too embarrassed to now, with the lengthy lists compiled by some other members of the film mafia!
I can’t believe no one mentioned “The Quiet American” with Michael Caine. Now that – that is a goodie.
Quarantine! Did someone already say that?
[…] Can I ask a weird question? […]
I wanted to mention The Quiet American and The Virgin Suicides…but looks like I’m a month late. But here’s two that have not been mentioned.
Q
The Quiet
V
Volver
